Zac Efron and the rest of the “Dirty Grandpa” cast were spotted in Atlanta earlier yesterday filming a funeral scene.

Efron, Julianne Hough, Robert De Niro and Dermot Mulroney were seen walking to and from basecamp into a church.

Aubrey Plaza was just roped in to play the leading lady in the comedy film and will play a party girl who is hoping to make the most out of her Spring Break.

“Dirty Grandpa” is directed by DanMazer and written by John Phillips and is currently set to release on Aug. 12, 2016.

The film is about Jason (Efron), an uptight fellow who is tricked to go on a roadtrip to Florida for spring break ahead of his wedding. His grandfather (De Niro) is a foul-mouthed former Army general who, thinks Jason is marrying the wrong woman and joins him on the adventure and we can only imagine what goes on from there. He loses focus of his lost wife and is looking to have sex during Spring Break.

“Vampire Academy’s” Zoey Deutch landed a role opposite of Efron as his love interest named Shadia, an earthy environmental advocate.

Efron recently posted an announcement on Instagram about the new movie with a picture collage of himself, De Niro and Deutch.

The caption read, “#ZacEfron is hitting the streets – with #RoberDeNiro as his #DirtyGrandpa! In the road trip comedy, which hits theaters in August 2016, Zac plays Jason, as an uptight groom-to-be on the way to Florida for spring break with his foul-mouthed Army-veteran grandfather in tow. ‘Vampire Academy’s’ @ZoeyDeutch has also signed on to play Jason’s love interest. Who’se excited?! – #TeamZE.”

‘After “High School Musical,” it looked like Efron might join the ranks of child actors who peaked early. But Efron has reinvented himself as a comedy star with this year’s “Neighbors” which grossed $268 million. Efron is also producing his own films like last year’s “That Awkward Moment.”‘

Good fences aren’t nearly enough to keep things neighborly when a non-stop rager breaks out in the suburbs next door to sleep-deprived new parents in the comedy blockbuster, Neighbors, available on DIGITAL HD August 12, 2014 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Channing Tatum and Zac Efron are about to find out if they can handle nature Bear Grylls-style.

NBC has ordered a series starring celebrity survivalist Grylls, which will feature Grylls taking celebrities such as Efron, Tatum and Ben Stiller to remote wild locations for a 48-hour journey.

The one-hour series, “Running Wild With Bear Grylls,” will also include episodes featuring Deion Sanders, Tom Arnold and Tamron Hall.

“Each of the celebrities endure the harsh wilderness in high-octane, action-based and empowering journeys spread over six remote locations,” NBC said of the new offering, which Grylls created. “From skydiving into the Catskill Mountains, to repelling down the cliffs of Utah and battling torrential wind and rain in Scotland, Grylls and each celebrity will have to push both their minds and bodies to the limit to successfully complete their journey.”

“Ultimately, this show is about taking these stars on the adventure of a lifetime and being alongside them when they discover something new and empowering about themselves and their world. For me, that is always a privilege,” added Grylls, who recently starred in “Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls” for NBC.

Sorry, Spidey. A raunchy fraternity just threw a bong through your web. The No. 1 movie in the United States and Canada over the weekend was “Neighbors,” an R-rated comedy that rode strong reviews and a well-oiled marketing campaign to an astounding $51.1 million in ticket sales, trampling “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”

“Neighbors” (Universal Pictures), which cost just $18 million to make and had been expected take in roughly $35 million, likely benefited from pent-up demand for crude laughs. The major studios have not released an original R-rated comedy since last August. Starring Seth Rogan, Rose Byrne and Zac Effron and recalling the 1980s-era “Revenge of the Nerds” movies, “Neighbors” also exploited what has been an overlooked corner of studio filmmaking in recent years: the fraternity picture.

“Spider-Man” (Sony) fell a steep 59 percent in its second weekend, taking in an estimated $37.2 million, for a two-week domestic total of $147.9 million — by far the lowest 14-day North American total in the webslinger’s five-film history. The superhero has also typically repeated as No. 1 in its second weekend. “Spider-Man,” which cost at least $250 million to make, not including marketing, has now taken in about $550 million worldwide, a total Sony described as “exceeding our goals.” Third place went to “The Other Woman” (20th Century Fox), which generated $9.3 million in ticket sales, for a three-week total of $61.7 million.

Also of note: “Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return” (Clarius Entertainment), a poorly reviewed animated musical that cost a reported $70 million to make, bombed badly, taking in $3.7 million

The years since “High School Musical” have been hard on the former child star, replete with hits (“Hairspray”), misses (“Charlie St. Cloud”) and substance abuse. Now, with “Neighbors,” he’s working on his life as an adult: “I needed to learn everything I did.”

Zac Efron leans back, lost in thought.

“No matter who you are, you face challenges growing up,” he says. “You go with your things, you learn, you have to. It’s impossible to lead an honest and fulfilling life as a man and not make mistakes and ‘fess up to them when you need to. But it’s especially humiliating when they happen to be so public and so scrutinized.”

He pauses. “When you have success young, and you accept the good things, you have to accept all of it. You have to accept the moments of glory but also a great responsibility. And that responsibility, to some degree, involves being a role model. At the same time, I’m a human being, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve learned from each one.”

Zac Efron met up with a very special fan during his recent stop at Facebook headquarters.

In fact, the 26-year-old actor was so touched that he took to social media to write Kirby Koo a sweet message about how their meeting impacted him.

“Kirby, I have so much more I want to say. And I will – when I find the words,” Zac wrote. “But I’ll start here – When you stood up, with such strength, and sincerity and gave me perhaps the nicest compliment I’ve been paid…it meant so much more than that to me. Facebook and online media in general, show only half the picture- sure people see me, but I never get to see them.”

He continued, “Yesterday was the first time in a very long time that I was able to look into your eyes and remember why I do what I do- and will never stop. I needed that, more than you will ever know and just wanted to say thanks- face to face soon I hope.”

“Zac, I am so incredibly touched by your note,” Kirby responded. “Meeting you was always the dream, but I never could have imagined that you would respond with such genuine kindness and literally open arms. The impact you and your talent have had on me and so many millions of others should never be underestimated. Beyond the actor, thank you for being such a warm, generous person and I’d be humbled to consider you a friend.”

E! News has exclusively learned that the actor’s mouth is wired shut after he broke his jaw over the weekend. Efron slipped at the entrance of his L.A.-area home on Sunday in a puddle of water he didn’t see.

He not only broke his jaw when he fell, but he also suffered a gash that required stitches.

Efron is expected to make a full recovery.

In the meantime, upcoming plans to promote his new comedy That Awkward Moment have been put on hold. Also starring Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, the movie follows a group of young guys who vow to stay single. It’s set for release in January.

Just last week, Efron attended a Vanity Fair event in West Hollywood honoring Jordan.

Later in the year, Efron will be seen in Neighbors, an Animal House-like flick in which he plays a rowdy frat boy opposite Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.

He later hit Chateau Marmont for a celebration with his younger brother, Dylan.

In time for the 50th anniversary on November 22nd, 2013, Millennium Entertainment is releasing PARKLAND on Blu-ray & DVD on November 5th, 2013.

PARKLAND recounts the dramatic true story of the chaotic events that occurred at Parkland Hospital in Dallas on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd 1963.

PARKLAND weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas’ chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK’s security team, witnesses to both the president’s death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered.
